<STRONG>Notice: This FAQ is still in a beta state!  There are broken links, and 
many pages have not been formatted correctly yet.  I'll try to fix these 
problems as soon as time permits.  Of course, if you want to help out, let 
me know...</STRONG>
<P>
As more information comes forth, I will continue to update this FAQ.  This 
FAQ includes questions and answers which relate to unique questions on the 
190, 2300, and 5300 series PowerBooks, the PowerBook 500's with PowerPC 
upgrade cards, the PowerBook 1400 series, as well as the upcoming PowerBook 
models.
<P>
Feel free to redistribute unmodified versions of this FAQ. If there
are any additions/corrections to be made, please send me e-mail at <!WA1><A HREF=
"mailto:jcbodner@students.wisc.edu">jcbodner@students.wisc.edu</A>. I do
read all of the e-mail I get and try to respond to every message, but sometimes
I get swamped and lose track of a message or two. If you don't get a response
in a week or so, e-mail me a reminder and if I have time, I'll bump you
to the top of the e-mail queue!  (As a note: polite messages usually get quick 
responses.  Rude and demanding messages rarely get answered.  Making sure 
that the return e-mail address is correct helps, too...)
<P>

<P>
I have a <!WA3><A HREF="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~jonb/powerbook/todo.txt">list of &quot;To Do&quot; items</A> which I 
can't get to due to other commitments, like grad school.  If you'd like to 
help out on the FAQ, send me e-mail and let me know what you'd want to do.

reviews, nothing mentioned in this FAQ should be taken as a statement of

no one gave me any money for anything, and don't blame me for ruining your
life if you get some information from this FAQ and things don't go as you
expected.
